“Energy and youth in the bouquet, a complex and detailed aroma package of fresh cherry and plum, boysenberry and red currants. The oak layers in spice and complexity and the stony mineral layers add depth and breadth. Delicious, fresh, taut, youthful and textured palate with core fruit flavour to reflect the bouquet. Ripe tannins in abundance with acidity and wood tannins for mouthfeel and structure" — Cameron Douglas, MS
“Simple, fresh and moderately concentrated wine with plum, dark cherry, spice/anise and toasted oak flavours give strong varietal definition. A very good example of Marlborough Pinot Noir” — Bob Campbell MW
We've always been fans of Languedoc reds, and having tried this for the first time we are much taken with this example of southern whites. Beautiful balance of acidity and freshness. This will be on our repeat shopping list like Villa Blanche.
Although this is a new vintage for us, it never fails to delight. Full of lovely crisp Grenache flavour. We bought it for summer and starting drinking it in mid-winter!!
Clear cab sav and merlot on the nose, clean not complex. Soft tannins and good fruit moderately sustained.. Clean finish. Good oak handling. Certainly not a platinum whatever that is but good silver and excellent value for the money
A great bridge between commercial and premium, plus it's a good conversation starter! 5 stars at the current discounted price.

Great Value
At its price, one of the best reds I have tasted. The experience is consistent with the bottle notes, fruity, balanced with a hint of oak and a long finish.
